      <description>&lt;p&gt;(For some of you who don't like much to read this kind of text read only the first paragraph)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I created an entire blockchain, with cooperative mining, credit system which is self-repaying by mining, real governance, ZK passeport identification and a world poll to ask whatever questions about our politics/ economics system of nowadays even to give a voice to the world, in a indeniable way. All the technical information are on egalchain.xyz , the testnet is in live you can test it, use it, see the potential of this kind of protocol and if you mind, share it !&lt;br&gt;
Thanks and that's the end of the first paragraph&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First of all, Hello y'all, I am here because I am proud to present my project to the community, EgalChain, this is my precious creation, I made it by myself with the help of Claude-code at the end of the dev, this isn't just another testnet with airdrop promise at the end, It's an world-changing protocol launch here and I don't abuse or anything this technology could enhance the way humanity see cryptography; to decide and be heard on international laws, regulations, relations, politics (local &amp;amp; international) and economics system. The internal economic system is healthy and solid, it is an hybrid Pow/ PoS the staking act as a guarantee fund for the credit ( it has a multiple layer of guarantee the staking is the first one ) and the consensus itself cannot be abuse by any corporation or even a state, I plan to exclude state/ entities to mine or they can do it in a special pool and their revenu will be way under a single person who mine on it, by sharing more % of their blocks in dividend or in the community pool, it's a governable parameter (currently for a single miner this is 34,5% of the block to the finder of it | 55,5% to the community pool | 10% in dividend shared every month for every miner ), by adding security monitoring (which is already made and implantable) and multiple contract clause if an organization wanted to use EgalChain. On the governance side it have 22 parameters in the consensus governable by every miners and the World Poll is on another level of vision, let me explain more. Imagine a place where every block (= serve as time scale), every users, every vote, every opinion, are verifiable and doesn't requiere you to trust anybody, not even me, simply by trusting mathematics (throught the Merkle Sum Tree, EgalChain have 5 of it, to proves exactly what I am talking about). And the ZK passeport act first as an anti-sybil and as a verifiable proof of origin for the one who is voting, by example: In France the president has paid hommage to an ancient minister of Culture, Jack Lang, but the thing is that Jack Lang is a well known name in the Epstein file, everybody in France thinks that this man should be in prison for child abuse and more and more crimes that he commits, you can check on X what the French people are thinking about the minister (but it can't be a transparent way to measure this discontent ! ) who the actual french president paid hommage in the last few days. It's only an example, don't try to find me and made me die by a heart attack ( I am very serious btw ). Anyways it's one of the examples of our multiple structural issues in our system ( economics and politics, those are linked ), EgalChain, primarly for this case can change this, or at least make us be more considerated by the ones who runs every countries, if people can speak out their opinion, their integrity, and vote for it, moreover every vote are indeniable and everybody can check where the vote is from ( through the ZK passeport features, just the country code is saved, you will have to scan you NFC chip in front of your passeport with your smartphone and the code is well encrypted and never communicated to nobody else than in your localhost, but this is a mainnet feature ). Journalist, NGO, association can use this data to push institution to listen to us, because even on politics, pure, just politics, they decide which countries go to war ( =&amp;gt;"" War is the continuation of politics by other means ""** Carl von Clausewitz, L'art de la guerre, 1832** ) with but I am 100% sure that every US citizens with a brain don't want this war and we can even calcule this %. I could write this kind of examples for days and days the world is full of corrupted interest of people who don't have the consequences of their decision and the ones who get the consequences can't even say a word about it. Don't wait a news of me dying to retrieve and share this post, I can't change the world alone, I am like you, and EgalChain is the people's Blockchain. As a information, this has taken me years of conception and month to developp it, the conception was surprisely the hardest part, define the economics structure, see what needs upgrade on most of Crypto protocol of nowadays, where centralization has take over the whole ecosystem, if you want to participate or use any cryptographic program you must buy the crypto, and depends on where you buy, people in charge of it will take tax and limit your capacity of using it. And I won't even talk about the economics system on most of the crypto that trading only keep bullishness on it. I made EgalChain to use cryptography in a innovative way. I am super thankful that you read all this for me and by the way the testnet is in live on egalchain.xyz , and off course I will award people for suporting EgalChain by using it the way it have to be use. Share it, test it, break it, and retrieve all kind of information/ issue you notice and if it's the case, Houra ! I have more work to do so don't be afraid, the testnet cannot reflect all the feature for practical purpose, the ES isn't a digital currency yet, I won't ask you to scan your passeport for simulated value, a lot more of the feature is ready to implant, I just need a bigger infrastructure and more institutionnal power. Thanks for your time, and sorry for writing so much but I hope you'll get my vision.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>A cooperative blockchain with passport-verified voting, cryptographic proof by country, and a credit system.</title>
      <dc:creator>PG's blog</dc:creator>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Question&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;What if you could ask every human on Earth a question — and prove the results?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Not a poll by a media company with 1,000 respondents chosen before. Not a Twitter survey gamed by bots. A real, cryptographically verified vote where 1 passport = 1 voice, broken down by country, verifiable by anyone, and impossible to fake. That question led me to build EgalChain.&lt;br&gt;
The Problem I Wanted to Solve&lt;br&gt;
Three things about the world frustrated me:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;No one asks the people. International decisions are made by institutions that never consult citizens directly. The UN doesn't hold global referendums. The IMF doesn't ask if people agree with its policies. There's no mechanism for humanity to express a collective, verified opinion.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Credit is broken. Billions of people are excluded from borrowing — not because they're irresponsible, but because they don't have the right papers, the right address, or the right nationality. What if your credit score was based purely on your repayment history, in this case it is the self-repaying loan by mining, nothing else?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Stablecoins require trust. USDC depends on Circle's audits. USDT depends on... faith. What if a stablecoin was backed 333% by on-chain reserves, provable at every block through Merkle Sum Trees?
What I Built
EgalChain is a Monero fork with three layers on top:
A cooperative credit system where you mine, earn a score from 0 to 20 based on repayment history, and borrow a stablecoin (ES) backed 333% by EGL reserves. Interest drops from 5% to 0% as your score increases. No bank, no KYC discrimination, no credit bureau.
A passport-based identity system where scanning your passport's MRZ generates a unique cryptographic nullifier. 1 passport = 1 identity. Your country code (249 ICAO territories) is recorded. No personal data is stored on-chain — only a hash.
A permanent World Poll where verified humans vote on global questions. Votes are live (changeable), decomposed by country, and proven by a 5th Merkle Sum Tree. The genesis question is hardcoded into the first block:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;gt; "Should the peoples of the world be consulted more often to guide international and national relations between us, human beings?"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm going to be transparent, Claude-Code has helped me well on this project, I was first a Learning dev engineer and prompt specialist So the synergies that I had with Claude-Code (even if it takes me month to developp it, without counting the economic, structure thinktank that I made alone, where most of my time, more than 2 years, has passed) was strong and unbeatable, so I am really proud to share my beautiful project to the world.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The result: 78,000 lines of custom code, 262 unit tests, 7 frontend applications, a 21-section whitepaper, and 15 documented future evolutions. All from one person and one AI, in a few month.&lt;br&gt;
Is this the future of software development? I think so. The code quality — safe_math on every financial calculation, undo logs on every database write, static_assert on every struct — is more disciplined than most team-built projects I've seen.&lt;br&gt;
The Numbers&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;78,204 lines of custom code&lt;br&gt;
262 C++ unit tests (all passing)&lt;br&gt;
44 RPC endpoints&lt;br&gt;
14 LMDB databases with full undo/reorg support&lt;br&gt;
5 Merkle Sum Trees (200-byte composite proof)&lt;br&gt;
10 governance operation types&lt;br&gt;
22 governable parameters with dual-approval&lt;br&gt;
Client-side Ed25519 Schnorr signing (keys never leave the browser)&lt;br&gt;
249 countries supported for World Poll voting&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Try It Now&lt;br&gt;
The testnet is live at egalchain.xyz.&lt;br&gt;
You can create a wallet, mine with your CPU, verify your identity (test mode — no real passport needed), and vote on the genesis poll. It takes about 5 minutes.&lt;br&gt;
There's no token sale. No VC funding. No airdrop promises. Just code that works.&lt;br&gt;
What's Next&lt;br&gt;
The protocol is complete as R&amp;amp;D. The path forward is:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Community testnet (live now)&lt;br&gt;
External security audit&lt;br&gt;
Mainnet deployment&lt;br&gt;
Mobile app for NFC passport scanning (Evolution 15)&lt;br&gt;
ES staking for non-miners to participate in World Poll (Evolution 12)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're a developer, security researcher, or just someone who believes the world needs better tools for collective decision-making — come test it. Break it. Tell me what's wrong.&lt;br&gt;
The genesis poll is waiting.&lt;br&gt;
egalchain.xyz&lt;/p&gt;
